Is School of Thinking for you?

The generalist curriculum of the Postgraduate School of Thinking is designed for working professionals in any career phase, with a wide array of backgrounds who are drawn to complex, ‘wicked’, multidisciplinary, convoluted, and unprecedented phenomena. It is especially suited for those whose impact critically relies on the quality of their thinking.

The (non-exhaustive) list of the professional roles, whose performance can be greatly enhanced by participating in the programme includes: intellectual and organisational leaders, think-tank members, politicians, activists, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, researchers, artists, philanthropists, managers, engineers and designers, as well as consultants, coaches, trainers and teachers who support such professionals in their development. 

Feel free to browse the list of alumni and their initiatives to get a sense of who has been thinking with us in past editions.

Why study at the VUB?

Studying at VUB gives you more than a diploma. You learn to view the world with an open mind and without prejudice. You hone your critical thinking, and you learn to express your opinion. You commit not just to study, but to participate in meaningful social projects that make the world a better place. In short, this is where you shape your identity. Who you are today and want to be tomorrow.
